Quiz Cabinet Frame

This Instructable shows the construction of the team cabinets for the Quiz project described here.

The basic frame for the team score boxes (Box A and Box B) is made up of 9mm MDF.

The sizes are:

3 off - 460mm x 100mm x 9mm - the top, centre and bottom

2 off - 325mm x 100mm x 9mm - the sides

There are also four corner braces to stop the rectangle turning into a parallelogram.

And a carrying handle on top

The cabinet parts should be glued together using a good quality wood glue.

Step 1: Cutting Diagram

This is a cutting diagram for a standard 600mm x 900mm sheet of 9mm MDF and will make two cabinets.

The 100mm dimension is not critical, the actual minimum is 90mm (needed by the DB25 breakout boxes), so the 2mm (varies) lost to the cutting blade won't be a problem. Just make sure that all of the pieces are the same width.

We think this is the best way to cut the sheet, if you can think of a better way please post a comment.
